Later this month (July 17th), THE SMASHING PUMPKINS are going to release a reissue of their 1994 compilation album “Pisces Iscariot”, which contains B-sides and never-released songs they recorded for their first two albums “Gish” and “Siamese Dream”, released in 1991 and 1993 respectively.
“A collection of odds and orphans from the dusky realms of Pumpkinland” is how Pumpkins founding member Billy Corgan describes “Pisces Iscariot” in the liner notes penned by David Wild. “Pisces Iscariot was the little mix tape that went platinum,” writes Wild. “This unlikely smash album that some came to mistake for the Pumpkins’ third studio effort even yielded a hit single – another wonderfully odd moment in the landslide that was the intense early success story of Smashing Pumpkins.”
